LOL Brian,
If only I'd actually bothered to keep up with the thread, I might have noticed it had moved on, thanks Brian, I thought it was a much older thread.
Kind regards Frank

When I was very young we had a Boer War colonial soldier living in the house below ours. I can still remember WW1 Veterans standing on street corners collecting on Poppy Day....now all gone and the WW2 chaps are also fading fast.

100% correct, in June this year it will be 37 years since I was called up to basic training....scary stuff! When I look at some of the websites about the Border War and see all those young faces and now we are all all in the "Brille and pille" age group
